[finbar]

Make that all our for 315 off 49.4 overs. The track is a batsman's paradise.

Not a happy evening of multiplaying for hydey. He came online early only to find Deity's game didn't happen. He's not a happy camper.


------------------
Chaos, panic and disorder - My work here is done.

[Hydey]

Mrs Hydey is less happy after telling her I could not go to our friends for dinner as I had told Deity I could play at 6 PM.
Hydey will have to suck up for a long time now

I know your not very enthusiastic about continuing this game hydey, but its a good opportunity to brush up your military skills. Lots of fighting guaranteed. If I were you I would try and inflict as much damage on me as possible and play for a stalemate.

Not that Australia - apart from Matthew Hayden, yet again - were able to make proper use of it.

Have you just come here to try us?

One thing Hydey is finding out is that unit bribing is a damn stupid idea. I bought his lone battleship last night.

Why not? I've got cable and you haven't. Hydey's got cable, but the wrong brand.

All good experience. It's one of the perils of Fundy. Unless one has a massive treasury - as you have - one must always travel in pairs.

Travel in pairs or let common sense prevail and NOT have unit bribe.

On cable, the combination of that and civ would pretty much end my marriage I suspect.

As I've said before, I don't have strong feelings either way about unit bribing. I'm not sure, though, what your problem is with it. Is it the "reality"?

I don't know what Mrs Horse's viewing habits are, if any, but Mrs finbar, who never saw the need for cable, and is a discerning viewer, would now not be without it.

Mrs Horse likes Chinese Kung fu movies and Jackie Chan (I do not joke).

You get whole seasons of them on World Movies. Along with the stuff about which your olds are suspicious, of course.

Yes well you have to pay extra for world movies. Otoh, could be a useful marital aid

At last, finbar comes up with a good argument for cable

The only marital aid you appear to need is a one of those little stretchy plastic ring things they use on sheep..

[Hydey]

The unit bribe thing was my fault, Horse sooks so much about it that I assumed he had refused to play games with unit bribing . That was until he started bribing my units.

Finbar you know all those units you had defending your cities in forts but had to move them into the cities so you could transfer them to me, well horse moved his units to fill those forts before I got to have a turn so as to make sure this game was fair and even, perhaps it would have been much better if you had stayed in the game after all.

Who knows? He doesn't agree with shepherding units with spies and partisans but he does it.

I should have given you the fortified troops first, then the cities. That was the way to do it. I've never done anything like it before, so I had no idea. Sorry.
